It took me 3 hours to finally hear this on a replay of a news conference on Fox news. How many Freeper's have dramatically altered their life to work on mindfulness? Am I uniquely naïve for wondering this?
Right now she’s in spin and damage control.
So did she drop out of the individual events or just the team events?
She was very unprofessional, IMO.
Nobody cares.
I’m a man so I can’t really understand stopping what Iove to work on “mindfullness”. Sounds woke as hell.
First thing I thought when the basketball team lost was they threw the game on purpose.....when I heard this I thought the same thing.....is it just minorities protesting in a new way, by losing on purpose or am I just paranoid like I think I am?
All of it....she’s out I do believe
Maybe she can work on her "positivity" and her "brand" next. - said with either vocal fry or vocal uptick or both...
I’m not watching the Olympics, but if she’s not up to competing for personal reasons, I think she is being reasonable. It’s not often that somebody is willing to give up a possible gold medal to stay mentally healthy. It’s commendable, imo.
She shouldn’t be allowed to compete for the individual events when she quit on her team. She doesn’t deserve it.
Exactly right....
Going forward, I want to pay attention to those athletes who want to be there and represent their country proudly.
The teenage girl from Alaska, Lydia Jacoby that won a gold in the 100m breaststroke, it was a huge upset and she was the first person from Alaska to win a gold in any swimming event....
Her home town in Seward had a watch party and went crazy as she same from behind and won...
At the medal ceremony her parents were on the screen, standing with hand over heart a tear or two coming down, that is a good story....not someone struggling mentally with being the best in the world....
No one put a gun to her head and forced her to take part in the Olympics..she decided to do it..two weeks ago when she qualified she was happy as a clam, because she was kicking butt and in first place..but since she stumbled at the games,s he needed a way out and came up with the “Mental issues” BS..
What is mindfulness?
So she quits on her team but she can compete for her own glory? Absolutely selfish.
Simone’s pretty smart. I think she just decided she didn’t want a complete trainwreck to be remembered as her last Olympics.
Another word for meditation.
“What is mindfulness?”
Something one would say if she “doesn’t have her mind right.”
Well, DUH!!
I wait with bated breath for her book, blaming white supremacy, to come out.
